DESCRIPTION

     An editor for use with the Formula One Grand Prix or World Circuit
     game (published by MicroProse Software).  It is very easy to use,
     with a standard 2.0 look graphical user interface (even on KS 1.x!)
     and on-line help should you need it.

     Allows you to alter most of the in-game setup, including computer
     car performance, car/helmet/pitcrew colours, car fragility and many
     other things (and I MEAN many!).  Sound samples can also be replaced,
     cockpit graphics changed, and lap records and setups printed.

     Changes can be saved directly to a copy of the game which is running
     in memory, or to the main file used by the game for a more permanent
     change.

     Also incorporated in the main program are a number of memory patches,
     including Toni Wilen's GPPatch and Grant Reeve's PatchF1GP.

     F1GP-Ed breathes new life into an ageing, but excellent game.  1994
     and 1995 example datafiles supplied for those who don't want to
     mess about.

     The program itself is auto-enhancing, which means that it will run
     on a basic A500 with KS 1.2, but will make use of KS 2.x or KS 3.x
     specific routines on suitable machines to make itself even better.

NEW FEATURES

     Restructured graphics window - more in-game graphics can be
     altered in a more flexible manner.  Example radical new cockpit
     design supplied.

     New PatchF1GP 1.9 features (ie pit lane speed limit) added.

     "Position Snapshot" feature, which allows you to practice a
     particular corner many times in a few seconds (rather than laps),
     for example.

     F1GP-Ed can now create 100% compatible F1GP record/setup/name
     files (it now adds the correct checksum to the file).

     Localized keyboard shortcuts, added "memory save" menu shortcut and
     the F1GP-Ed main window is now a AppWindow (ie drop a F1GP-Ed
     datafile icon onto it and it will be loaded automatically).

     Multiplayer aspects improved - using the "Use Team HP" option
     now works correctly with multiplayer games, and there is a
     new feature that makes player cars under computer control go at
     the correct speed relative to the computer drivers.

     Updated "f1gp.library" - version 35.1 (supplied)

     And, of course, there are a few bug fixes.

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

     Formula One Grand Prix or World Circuit commercial game published
     by MicroProse Software.

     Approximately 1.5Mb of free ram needed to load the game and the
     editor to be able to use the memory patches.  But, the editor
     itself will work on machines with less memory.
